KEY TAKEAWAY

The short version.

  1. 01

    The Zepbound, Mounjaro, Wegovy and Ozempic prescribing information says the weekly injection can be given with or without meals, and none of those labels lists tuna, or any other specific food, as something to avoid.

  2. 02

    In GLP AI, “1 can tuna in water” scored 81/100 (A, Great): 165 kcal, 36.9 g protein and 0 g fiber.

  3. 03

    For that log, what helped: high protein for the calories, lower sugar; what cost points: moderate sodium.

  4. 04

    The Meal Score is calculated per 100 g, so portion size alone does not move it: in our test, half a cup and two cups of grapes both scored 62. A smaller portion changes the calories, protein and fiber you actually get.

THE QUICK ANSWERS

Tuna on a GLP-1 — FAQs.

Can you eat tuna on Zepbound, Mounjaro, Wegovy and Ozempic?+

The Zepbound, Mounjaro, Wegovy and Ozempic prescribing information says the weekly injection can be given with or without meals, and none of those labels lists tuna, or any other specific food, as something to avoid. How tuna sits with you personally can change with your dose and the days after a shot, so treat this as food information, not clearance from your clinician. In GLP AI, “1 can tuna in water” scored 81/100 (A, Great).

What is the GLP-1 Meal Score for tuna?+

It depends on the version. We logged 3: “1 can tuna in water” scored 81 (A); “Tuna salad with mayo” scored 57 (B); “Tuna sandwich on whole wheat” scored 62 (B). The score runs 0–100 and weighs protein, fiber, sugar, sodium, saturated fat and how processed the food is.

How much protein and fiber is in tuna?+

GLP AI estimated “1 can tuna in water” at 165 kcal, 36.9 g protein, 0 g fiber, 0 g carbohydrate and 0 g sugar.

Does eating a smaller portion of tuna change the score?+

Not by itself. The GLP-1 Meal Score compares nutrients per 100 g, so the same food scores the same at half the amount; in our test, half a cup and two cups of grapes both scored 62. What changes is the total: calories, protein and fiber scale with the amount, which matters when appetite is low. Two logs of a similar food can still land a few points apart when the app reads the food differently, for example how processed it judges it to be.

What makes tuna score higher or lower?+

Across what we logged, “1 can tuna in water” scored highest at 81 and “Tuna salad with mayo” lowest at 57. The top version gained from high protein for the calories, lower sugar and lost points for moderate sodium. The lowest gained from solid protein density, lower sugar and lost points for moderate sodium, moderate saturated fat.
